The Group in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing
at the University of Michigan is seeking a postdoctoral researcher.
Candidates should have previous experience in relevant areas of
Computer Science. We are particularly interested in candidates with
prior research experience in statistical NLP, including parsing,
language modeling, summarization, question answering, generation, and
machine translation.

Our group is a cooperative effort involving Computer Science,
Linguistics, and the School of Information, and drawing on the many
resources in Computer, Cognitive, and Information Science at this
university.  We also have strong connections to the Program in
Bioinformatics.  The core members of the group include Steven Abney,
Dragomir Radev, and Richmond Thomason.

We are seeking an energetic, independent person with excellent
communication skills, whose primary duties will involve coordinating
